Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone. Spidey, who just graduated from high school with his sweetheart, is in for a shock when a nerdy technician is bitten by angry electric eels (don’t ask) and is turned into Electro, a current-slurping super-villain with anger issues who must be hell on the monthly utility bill. Sure, this sequel is far too busy, too long and crowded with too many subplots but it has a loopy charm that keeps it from causing the dreaded Marvel-fatigue. With Jamie Foxx, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Jim Carrey, Chris Cooper, Stan Lee and Felicity Jones. Directed by Marc Webb (“(500) Days of Summer”), who was a guest at Seven Days of Opening Nights in 2009. (B-)

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

PG-13, 136 minutes. Intense violence, loud explosions.

Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson. As superhero Captain America tries to adjust to modern-day life in Washington, D.C., a high-ranking official in the secretive SHIELD agency who has world domination on his mind stirs up a hornet’s nest of cabals, hired killers and double spies. The action-comic book genre gets a dose of ‘70s-style conspiracy movies. With Stan Lee, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Redford.

Movies 8: noon, 3, 6:45, 9:35

Chef

R, 115 minutes. Profanity, sexual content.

Jon Favreau, Emjay Anthony. After a high-profile chef in Los Angeles pitches a tirade over a food critic, and the rant goes viral on YouTube, he tries to put his life and family back together by going back to basics in a food truck. Written and directed by Favreau (“Elf,” “Iron Man”). Thoroughly predictable and thoroughly enjoyable comedy. Eat before you see it or you will be starving before it’s over. With Dustin Hoffman, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, John Leguizamo, Robert Downey Jr. and Sofía Vergara. (B)

Shailene Woodley, Kate Winslet. Set in a dystopian future in a totalitarian Chicago, a teenager takes a required aptitude test that does not go as planned, so she joins the warrior class to undergo brutal boot-camp training. Based on the best-selling series of young adult novels by Veronica Roth. The social message about individualism and non-conformity is hammered home with Ayn Randian subtlety. With Theo James, Ashley Judd, Maggie Q and Mekhi Phifer. Directed by Neil Burger (“The Illusionist”). (C+)

Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt. An Army major is forced into a suicide mission against alien invaders from outer space but he gets stuck in a time loop where he has to keep reliving the same deadly day again and again. High-concept action pic directed by Doug Liman (“Swingers,” “Go,” “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”) is delivered with wit and explosions to spare. Think of it as “Groundhog Day” with flying squid monsters. No thinking needed. With Jeremy Piven and Bill Paxton. (B)

Governors Square: 1, 6:50

The Fault in Our Stars

PG-13, 125 minutes. Profanity, sexual content, gallows humor.

Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort. Two cancer-addled teens begin a romance at a support group that takes them on a trip to Amsterdam, where they meet their favorite novelist and make out in the Anne Frank House. Based on the bestselling, young-adult novel by John Green (“Paper Towns”), this film adaptation starts out as an intelligent, irreverent riff on the formulaic disease-of-the-week genre. By the end, it gives in to the conventions and wallows in its own carefully manipulated grief. An eye-gouging tearjerker of the first magnitude. With Laura Dern, Willem Dafoe and Emily Bach. (C+)

Bryan Cranston, Aaron Johnson. In this reboot of the Japanese classic from the ‘50s, an American engineer in a Japanese nuclear plant discovers that an earlier accident was actually caused by a giant monster and the government is trying to cover it up. Directed by Gareth Edwards (“Monsters”), who steals liberally from Steven Spielberg’s playbook. Sure, the plot has some serious holes and Johnson is wooden as the hero but the monster fights and special effects are top shelf. Ease up, it’s a summer popcorn spectacle starring a giant lizard. With Elizabeth Olsen, Ken Watanabe, Juliette Binoche, David Strathairn and Andy Serkis. (B)

Heaven Is For Real

PG, 100 minutes. Medical trauma, thematic material.

Greg Kinnear, Connor Corum. Following a near-death experience in the operating room, a 4-year-old boy baffles his small-town parents in Nebraska by discussing dead relatives, angels and a divine being he met during his brief visit to the afterlife. Based on the best-selling book of the same name. Well-acted religious drama that is really about a crisis of faith (the doubting dad is a pastor) but has a weird sense of humor (passing kidney stones for laughs?). It also gouges for the tear ducts, so be warned. With Thomas Haden Church, Kelly Reilly and Margo Martindale. (B-)

Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman narrates this story about the lemurs’ ancient past (they arrived on their island home more than 60 million years ago when the last of the dinosaurs were still around) and their uncertain future (the folks who live on Madagascar keep burning down the rain forests for farm land). But who can resist the wide-eyed, bouncy primates who look like they are dancing when they are running? Younger kids will eat it up. (B+)

IMAX: 11 a.m., noon, 6

Jersey Boys

R, 134 minutes. Profanity, violence, sexual content, smoking.

John Lloyd Young, Christopher Walken. The members of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons take turns telling differing backstage stories about their run-ins with the law, loan sharks, mobsters and the record industry in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s when they scored such big hits as “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like a Man.” Based on the jukebox Broadway play of the same name and directed by Clint Eastwood (“Bird,” “Unforgiven”), who makes a pretty straightforward, slightly cliched bio-pic. Valli is painted a little too much as a songbird saint. (B-)

Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning. It is payback back time when a wing-clipped, embittered fairy queen seeks vengeance on an old boyfriend by placing a curse on his newly born daughter. This live-action backstory on “Sleeping Beauty” is visually dazzling but the story is straight out of “The Real Housewives” playbook on reality TV. With Sam Riley, Lesley Manville, Imelda Staunton and Juno Temple. Directed by newcomer Robert Stromberg, the production designer for “Avatar” (2009). (B-)

Governors Square: 12:10, 2:45, 5:15, 7:45, 10:25

Tallahassee Mall: 11:45 a.m., 2:15, 5, 7:30, 10

Million Dollar Arm

PG, 123 minutes. Mild sexual humor and innuendo.

Jon Hamm, Lake Bell. In an effort to save his career, an American sports agent stages a pitching contest and recruits cricket players from a small town in India to become baseball pitchers in the American Major Leagues. Culture-clashing sports comedy-drama directed by Craig Gillespie (“Lars and the Real Girl,” “Mr. Woodcock”). Yes, it’s schmaltzy and entirely predictable but it’s done with such feel-good, kind-hearted humor that you won’t mind being manipulated. With Aasif Mandvi, Suraj Sharma, Madhur Mittal, Bill Paxton (who is quite funny as a droll coach) and Alan Arkin. (B)

Seth MacFarlane, Charlize Theron. After a sheep farmer is dumped by his true love for shunning a gun fight in the Wild West, he gets help from a beautiful sharpshooter until her outlaw husband shows up in this clunky horse-opera spoof. Directed by MacFarlane, whose magic touch from “Ted” (2012) is missing. The pacing is off, the crude jokes fall flat and the creaky plot is straight out of a bad Bob Hope movie. “Blazing Saddles,” it ain’t. The summer of terrible American comedies continues. With Sarah Silverman, Liam Neeson, Neil Patrick Harris, Amanda Seyfried, Bill Maher and Giovanni Ribisi. (D)

Movies 8: 12:45, 3:15, 7:10, 9:45

Mister Peabody & Sherman

PG, 92 minutes. Violence, scary action sequences.

Voices of Ty Burrell, Max Charles. An intelligent, talking dog and his adopted human son hop into a time machine that whisks them off for adventures in the French Revolution, ancient Egypt, the Renaissance and the Trojan wars in this animated action-comedy. Based on the “Peabody’s Improbable History” shorts that were a part of the “The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show” in the early ’60s.

Seth Rogen, Zac Efron. After a debauched, party-hearty fraternity moves in next door to a young family, the husband and wife decide to fight back in this crude, crotch-obsessed college comedy. If you can contract an STD through cinema, this may be the movie to do it. Most of the gross jokes fall flat or so far-fetched that they don’t connect; such as a breast-milk gag that is painful to watch. With Rose Byrne, Lisa Kudrow, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Hannibal Buress. Directed by Nicholas Stoller (the passable lewd lark “Get Him to the Greek”). (D)

Jenny Slate, Gaby Hoffmann. Just before Valentine’s Day, a struggling stand-up comic in Brooklyn does not know which way to turn when she is dumped by her boyfriend and then becomes pregnant after a drunken one-night stand. Comedy — yes, a comedy — written and directed by newcomer Gillian Robespierre. With David Cross, Richard Kind and Polly Draper. Opens Friday.

Tallahassee Mall: 11 a.m., 1:15, 3:30, 5:45, 8, 10:30

Rio 2

G, 95 minutes. Comic violence, mildly scary material.

Voices of Anne Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg. Two talking parrots, who are living the good life in captivity in South America, decide to show their young kids what life is like in the wilds of the Amazon River in this computer animated comedy sequel. Directed by Carlos Saldanha ("Rio," "Ice Age," "Robots").

Movies 8: 11:55, 2:10, 4:25, 7, 9:15

The Signal

PG-13, 97 minutes. Profanity, violence, nerd drama.

Brenton Thwaites, Lin Shaye. Three brainy college students take a road trip across the Southwest to track down a mysterious hacker named NOMAD and things don’t work out as planned. Indie sci-fi headtrip directed by newcomer William Eubank. With Lawrence Fishburne, Beau Knapp and Olivia Cooke.

Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Union. What happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas when a large wedding party — which includes the world’s most motor-mouthed best man — travels to Sin City for some naughty fun before a big day. Hart is the drawing card in this predictable ensemble comedy sequel directed by Tim Story (“Ride Along,” “Barbershop,” “Think Like A Man”).With Gary Owen, Jerry Ferrara, La La Anthony, Meagan Good, Michael Ealy, Regina Hall, Romany Malco and Taraji P. Henson. (C+)

Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci. After a cash-strapped Texan buys an old truck to sell for profit, he discovers it is Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, and it’s time, once again, to save the planet from more evil robots. With Kelsey Grammer, Miguel Ferrer, Tyrese Gibson and Nicola Peltz. Directed by Michael Bay, who has made exactly one watchable film in his career (“Pain & Gain”). Please note that this movie about space robots is 20 minutes longer than “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Opens Friday.

Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill. Two undercover cops pose as college students to crack a drug ring but have personality conflicts when one becomes a frat-boy jock and the other a sensitive poet. Shambolic, satirical action-comedy by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who scored big earlier this year with the meta-animated comedy “The Lego Movie.” The insider jokes wear thin and the frat-boy humor is overdone but there are a few moments — such as a rant by Ice Cube as an angry father of a college girl and Jillian Bell as a sourpuss roommate — that draw big laughs. With Peter Stormare, Wyatt Russell and Nick Offerman. (C+)

Six groups of pilgrims from around the world battle blisters and exhaustion by taking a very long hike through the rocky hill country of Northern Spain to reach the alleged burial site of James the Apostle. If you can’t make it to Spain this summer, this low-budget, pleasant documentary and travelogue will have to do. Subtitled in parts. Opens Friday. (B)

Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart. Super-powered mutants are being rounded up and destroyed by shape-shifting robots, so they send Wolverine back to 1973 to prevent an assassination that started the whole mutant-hating trend in the first place. With Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Rose Byrne and Peter Dinklage. Director Bryan Singer (“The Usual Suspects,” “X-Men”) is back at the helm. After a ridiculous and confusing start, the film settles into its ‘70s kitsch vibe with ease, if you don’t mind a few plot holes the size of kettle drums. (B)
